Parks Commission Meeting 11-14-01 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />III. Comprehensive Plan Review <br />A. The Commission continued to review the existing Comprehensive Plan. <br />B. Robyn LaCasse will continue to make edits on facts and items that have been <br />completed. <br />C. The addition of a new park classification was discussed. It appears that the definition <br />of a park that maybe smaller than the 7 -acre neighborhood parks is needed. The <br />names that were discussed included pocket park, mini park, and open space park. <br />The definition of this park needs to be developed and will be presented and discussed <br />at a later meeting. <br />IV. Open Gym <br />A. The open gym at Hugo Elementary is open for business. Not many people came to <br />the gym the first Saturdays but it was beautiful weather and it is expected that <br />attendance will be a lot greater once winter arrives. <br />B. The City Council appropriated $500 to supply equipment for the school to use in the <br />gym. White Bear Lake Community Services also contributed $500 for supplies. <br />V. Playgrounds <br />A. Lions Park wood fiber is low. This needs to be supplemented in the spring to bring the <br />depth to the required 12 to 14 inches. <br />Action: Chris Petree will order the wood fiber for spring and install it at Lions Park. <br />B. Beaver Ponds play area should also be checked next spring for the appropriate depth <br />of wood fiber. <br />VI. Grants <br />A. Grant applications for 2002 were discussed. The commission was asked to think of <br />projects that would be appropriate for grants next year. Three general areas came to <br />mind; play ground grants, land acquisition, and improvement of the old school house. <br />B. This item will be discussed at the December meeting. <br />This is an interpretation of the events that happened at the meeting.
